Right?


I've just watched a movie entitled Freedom Writers this afternoon. It's about how a teacher inspired and changed her students' life by using unorthodox teaching methods, which worked yet was not recognized by many who goes law by law. This is based on the true story of Erin Gruwell, a teacher in US and her students. So, it's really inspiring.


One of the thing in this movie is learning to put our differences aside and not let anything that people say get to us. Many a times, success depend on one person's mind. If we ever allowed people to dictate our life, we will never be able to make a breakthrough. Instead, we should strive to change, there's no one thing in this world that can stopped you from your dream as long as you try hard enough.


The story talks about white and black's discrimination, holocaust and things that are closed to teenagers facing problem in an area in US. We as teenagers of Malaysia faces our own problems too, only mayb it isnt as radical as the ones in US. Miep Gies, the person who hide Anne Frank during the holocaust said this I DIDN"T HIDE ANNE TO BE A HERO, I ONLY DID THAT BECAUSE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. That sentence really made an impact. It struck me right there that many times we do things to please others, to get into their good books or simply because our friends require us to do it. But what we have failed to realise is this, the reason behind our actions. I've been trying to more or less be someone I aint and I get very tired and hurt at the end of the day. I guess perhaps it wasnt the right thing to do after all. In life, we need not please everyone but we need to be straight with God. I have been doing things beyond my range of work, it's time to focus on things that are important to me. I am gonna do things because it's the right thing to do. :p

So, yea do watch the movie. The actress is quite pretty also. Hehe..

What's next?

I'm on holidays,again! The Raya holidays is here! Can you smell the ketupat? Haha! I still remembered the last Raya holidays I had, it was to prepare for the lower 6 final examination. This time around, no more final exam after Raya but it's the horrifying STPM! Done with trials and did "ok", I guess. The high school years are finally coming to an end, 1 and a half year of form 6 is finishing. The question remains, did I enjoy my stay?

A conversation I had with Cheng Yee some time ago had him saying GO TO SCHOOL AND ENJOY YOURSELF. He said he was playing a fool most of the time in school with his friends, enjoying the period of time in STK. I believed many of us have done that. As for me, let's not go there. :X Hm, perhaps I am like what many people said I am, attention seeking. I enjoy being around many people and wish to be part of everything, most of which doesnt seem to work out. Reality check, mayb I am just asking for too much. Opss..

Well, another 2 months to STPM and 3 to freedom, hm..What's next?

The Short Return..

Ah,finally found some time to blog. I've been rather busy wasting my time, besides studying for my trials for the last 2 weeks. Trials just ended, with mixed emotions. I hope I did just well enough for better results compared to the previous ones. :X

Well, Jie Eunice and Jaeson's wedding took place on the 6th, with many of us involved. It was a really great event and very touching to see them both tying the knot. For pictures, please visit
http://www.jaesonandeunice.org The dinner was held at Peking Sutera in JB and boy, that restaurant is so huge and classy! It's located in the newly developed township of Sutera Utama and sat right next to Sutera Mall, a new shopping mall and one that's meant for girls, as usual :P.
Went there courtesy of Yosh as I hitched a ride on his beloved Wira when I was supposedly to be taking the bus. We reached Pekin in 45 minutes time and took about the same time to reach home. Hehe. New record :P

Just heard the news that a warrior for God, Pastor Sunther passed away. It was rather sudden. He was just telling us that he will be going to Korea for some convention this year and the next thing we know, the Lord had summoned him back home. Life certainly is fragile, hey? I still remembered the conversation between Yosh and Pastor Clement from KT about death. Pastor Clement said that we will leave this world once we have fought the battle we need to as in the case of Paul ( or izzit Peter?) Dont stone me! I studied too hard for trials dy! Haha.
Well, when do we know if our job here is done? Or how do I even know if my job is being done?
Life is certainly full of mysteries. Aih~ I don't really like sad moments.

Speaking of which, yours truly is sick, quite sick. So, ciao! "MC" tomorrow from school! Those who know me well will get what I mean. Haha

Check Up..

Today is 4th September 2008, my birthday is over with no official celebration or what so ever. I did, however received many sincere wishes from many parties. So, to those who showed me their love and care, thank you! It's a quiet affair as I've expected. No surprise party, no grand celebration, no extreme splurging but just a little time to reflect on the fact I am 18. I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe the guy I am seeing is 18.

So I've decided to go through some things in life since I've turned 18.

Head..CHECK
Health..CHECK
Heart..^@#$^~%~#$

I wished I could have typed CHECK but I think I need to reconsider the condition of my heart, once more. Plainly saying my heart is in the correct condition just simply doesnt make any sense. Yea, the same old problem. Immaturity of TZH. More often that not, I think I tend to act solely based on my emotions, and not rational. It's like I've grown up quicker than I'm supposed to. Yosh said that I am somehow still immature in certain areas of my life and I agreed with him hands down. The attitude is still one heck of a big prob. Aih~

I got to reset my heart to the correct condition, my eyes upon His statutes.

Guide me O Lord for I'm lost and weak..

17 to 18...

Time for some self-indulged, super perasan post! It's that time of the year again! Today is September 3rd, 2008. This marks the coming of age for yours truly, who turn 18 today! Yeah, let me hear it! Where's all the wishes?! Haha. Kidding bout those wishes. Well, in a glimpse of an eye, I am 18. Transiting from a teenager into a stage I would like to call Young Adult is certainly something I have been looking forward to. Now that it's here, not much of a feeling pulak. Aiks, I guess this is human nature.

Today is a rather quiet affair, as it had always been. My family wasnt the type that celebrate special occassions grandly or at least those activities stopped after I entered high school. I remembered splurging quite abit on my previous birthdays giving my friends a treat, but I had somehow turned it into a quiet affair by PURPOSELY forgetting to celebrate, using trials as excuse when I was form 5. So, yea. This post is super random with the thought of trying to gain some attention here! Haha.

Alas, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :P
